nofrendo Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Does anyone know where I can get some silicone gaskets??? I mean the whitish clear ones... MYA's come with them but I can't find them online ANYWHERE! I hate rubber base gaskets, they're always thick and they're hard to put on... And the silicone bowl and hose grommets are preem... I really need some cause I keep losing the ones I have and I always have to replace them with crappy rubber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will slide into the pipe and base easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyGuy Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Yes, but, silicone is SO much nicer. I, too, hate my rubbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_D Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Silicon soon becomes discoloured and looks shabby anyways.At least mine have.JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASUSEAN1 Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 (edited) call mya and bitch about how they fell apart or something along those lines.. you will get some free ones haha Edited May 9, 2007 by ASUSEAN1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofrendo Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 (edited) ok, whats your #? Yeah they definitely do get dirty and look shabby, I find that the performance outweighs the crappy appearance... Especially since my hose doesn't fit into my MYA without one (the hose and adapter are angled differently), and I don't like the look of a big black rubber piece sticking out. The smaller silicone ones fit completely inside.I found some though"On Hookah-Hookah"this is what I was talking about as far as the base goesI do wet my rubber grommets but the thing is you have to wet them every time... which I don't like. Plus they are really thick and not all that flexible, which has made fitting the bowl on an issue in the past (with my phunnel, which has an opening that is relatively unforgiving of too wide a stem opening coupled with too big of a plug...)edit: no hookah-hookah?

nofrendo Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 I would, but when a company shows that it is willing to open itself to the possibility of being scammed like that in order to earn customer loyalty, I feel that we owe it to them to not take advantage... that's why there are so many companies with horrible customer service (many just because they don't care, too)... because they get taken advantage of and lose too much money.I think I may have found some though...If not, I'll just call planetimports and order some through them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASUSEAN1 Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 yeah but when a company marks up a hooka 100-150 percent then they are making a fine amount of money to cover the products they garentee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeeps613 Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Rubbers, silicone and electrical tape- sounds like a kinky night at the strip club. But I always had bad luck with the silicones- they seem to lose their fit really quickly in contrast to the fat rubbers. I never got a really good seal with 'em and my mya. But I think the electrical tape works wonders as a sealer- specially on the base and hose... the bowl I haven't quite ventured to tape up cause although I like the taste of electrical tape when I chew it I don't know if i'd like to smoke it. Anybody tried tape to seal bowl connection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
